3. ZigBee (Afthab Jabeena, „A design and development of smart wirless sensor network for
farming water supply system”, March 2016)
In this research, it is design and develop the smart wireless technology using
microcontroller for farming with irrigation system. The purpose of this research is to provide
a smart irrigation system by using Zigbee wireless control system. Zigbee is a standards-
based wireless technology intended to address the exclusive needs of low-power wireless
sensor, low-cost and control of networks in just about any marketplace. ZigBee technology is
based on petite range WSN and it was chosen for this battery-operated sensor network as it is
of low cost, low power expenditure, and has greater useful range in comparison with other
wireless technologies like Bluetooth, UWB, and Wi-Fi.
During their research, they obtained a Zigbee-based agriculture monitoring system which
serves as a reliable and efficient system to monitor the environmental parameters. With the
help of this system, the water use reduces because it provides irrigation as per the
requirement of the crop and also the human resources reduces. The wireless monitoring of
field allows user to see accurate changes in it and the system was established to be feasible
and cost effective for optimizing water resources for farming production.Also, this system
can monitoring the status of all the sensors (temperature, water lever, soil-moinsture) and
also the ON/OFF status of the motor and FAN.
